I really enjoyed KotCS, just because they kept up with the times, in the 30's (the first & 3rd) it was the big bad Nazis, they tried to switch it up with the Thugees in ToD but it was a lacklustre effort. This one I really liked, it took place in the 50's, aliens and UFO's were the big draw at the time, and throw in the Soviets, and voila a pulp picture for the time it is set in. Every time I watch the Indiana Jones movies, it takes me back to watching the old pulp serials of the 30's and 40's when I was a kid on PBS, things along the lines of Flash Gordon, Zorro, Buck Rogers, Fu Manchu, Jungle Girl, etc. While this outing isn't as good as RotA and TLC, it was very entertaining, and very inkeeping with the time it is set in.
